Unsatisfactory Brand Off Dealers' Shelves Stock Os Dieldrin Now Satisfactory The brand of Dieldrin that has been giving unsatisfactory results in the control of chinch bugs, has been withheld from the dealers’ shelves, county agent L.E. Archbold; Stocks of Dieldrin on hands now can be used with complete confidence, if the following precautions are observed. 1. Use ten gallons or more of water per acre. 2. Arrange spray drops to hit the base of the corn from both sides. In grass or wheat, lower the boom or drops so as to saturate the plants near the ground. 3. Do not become impatient for results. The chinch bugs hit direct will be paralyzed and will not feed. In crawling across the sprayed ground the others will become affected. Within 48 Hours dead ohinch bugs will be found. A splendid example was found in Kirkland township. A ten row strip of corn was sprayed Sunday evening. Tuesday morning, some tire tread marks contained upwards of a teaspoonful of dead chinch bugs and the corn was free of active chinch bugs. The county agent asserts that fie feels there is still a place for use of a 5% DDT dust in controlling small outbreaks of chinch bugs. DDT should not be mixed with lime, as the alkaline situation destroys the DDT. If you nave something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Add. It brings results.

American Gl's Storm Back On Porkchop Hill U. S. Infantrymen Make Heroic Drive To Regain Ground SEOUL, Korea, UP — American infantrymen stormed back to the Crest of Porkchop Hill today in a heroic drive to regain ground lost under withering Communist artillery fire. Troops of the U. S. 7th division had surrendered the vital outposts to the Communists after Red artillery hit the crest with 20 rounds of artillery per second for hours at a time. Chinese troops took command of the hill by throwing ‘‘buckets of grenades” at the defending Americans. | t After a day of seesaw fighting;, exhausted Americans reported at 5 p. m. they had regained the crest and eastern slopes. Latest reports said the Americans were fighting to root out Reds who had dug in on the western approaches to Porkchop. “We are expanding our hold on the hill,” a frontline officer said. “We have 80 percent more territory than we did this morning.” He said the situation was “very encouraging.” United Press correspondent'Leroy Hansen reported from the front that an American Negro soldier’s eyes had been blown out in the furious fighting for Porkchop before the hill was lost. The attacking Communist force of 1,500 Chinese had battled the Americans for 36 hours before the American counterattack. i "The big things that slow’ed us was hand grenades.” a battalion officer said. “They threw buckets of hand grenades at us.” Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, eighth army commander, and Lt.{ Geh. Bruce C. Clark, I corps commander, went to 7th division headquarters for a briefing on. the Porkchop struggle. “I see no significance in it," Taylor said. “It’s just another one of those things.” Taylor was referring to the current nature of the Korean war— ( f ' ' i KI \ • I I 1 Mr > yffirr i — - • ,h HANDCUFFED to police officer William Bender, fugitive Cornelius Pytsch, 49. wbo led a quiet and honest life for 17 years in Northlake, a Chicago suburb, i» led to Jail after his arrest on a New, York extradition warrant seeking his return as a parole violator.

You’d think the big ice plants would be the coolest places in town during hot weather. They are, in some spots, inside. But ask any ice man how much fun it is to come out of a room that Is below zero and then hoist a 200pound cake of ice onto a truck, in the hot outdoors. “I believe it would be more comfortable working In a boiler factory,” one husky helper told me. “It’s the change of tenitpeyature that bothers us.” The ice men are strong : men. They have to \>e. But my' man told me that most of the men coming in and out of his plant "have colds all during the hot weathqr.

Like these: -| Ice can be used to cool offipets. Cats and dogs love to play; with ice. £ You can dump a few cubes on some potted plants to kees the dirt wet, but you’d better your greenhouse man which plants can take a chill. When the baby is teething, he’d rather have a hunk of ice wrapped in a clean cloth thaik the storebought teethers. And of teeth, an ice pack may give some relief to a gown-up 'tooth ache.

Barnyard Birth Control Derided Frigid Reception To Griswold's Bill | WASHINGTON, (UP) — Sen. Dwight Griswold's bill to bar cows from motherhood seemed likely today to die a-borning. The Nebraska Republican, decided that the trouble with the cattle business is too many cattle. So 4 he proposed cutting off the supply at the source ■ — the cow. The result was a bill to subsidize the- sterilization of young heifers and convert \brood cows from parents to protein. But the bill got a frigid reception. Some Republicans said privately it smacked too much of Henry A. Wallace’s New Deal experiment in drowniqg little pigs. Democrats were openly derisive. “I don’t think barnyard birth control is the answer to the depressed price level of cattle,” said Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, IlMinn. “The senator’s program of birth control would be of little benefit to the producers now compelled to sell because of drought conditions or economic pressure,’ said Sen. Robert S. Kerr. DOkla. “It would be of less benefit to the consuming public that wants a constant supply of good beef at reasonable cost.’ “ft would be of ho benefit to the catt|e upon whom the operation was inflicted,’’ Kerr added. “I’m confident,” he concluded, “that if the program was subjected to a vote, it would be vetoed by producers, (consumers and cattle alike.” Griswold claimed his bill would beat ordinary price supports because it js-ould progressively reduce the supply of cattle. The measure would allow tl|e secretary of agriculture to buy brood cows at a minimum of 10 cents a pound urttil next July 1. and turn them ifito canned or stored meat which be could hold for market or give away as foreign aid. It would also allow the secretary to pay any cattle producer to spay (sterilize) his heifers. . ■ L - —■—— * IKE ASSURES (Continued extm Pore One) with the truce.
